伊索和旅行者
古希腊曾经居住了一个聪明的'男人,他的名字叫伊索。
一天,伊索正在乡村散步,一位旅行者拦住他问道:“好心的先生,你能告诉我,我要多久才能到城镇?”
“走吧。”伊索回答道。
“我知道我一定要走,”旅行者说,“但是我想知道我要多久才能到城镇。”
“走吧。”伊索对他叫到。
旅行者非常生气。
他想:“这个人一定是个疯子。”接着他走开了。
突然他听到了伊索对他喊道:“你将在两个小时后到达城镇。”
旅行者感到非常惊讶。他转过身来问:“你为什么之前没有告诉我呀?”
“我之前如何告诉你呀?伊索回答,“我根本不知道你可以走多快。”

去年暑假,我们一家去了香格里拉腊木措国家森林公园去玩,还采了一些蘑菇呢!
我们到那里的第一天晚上睡了一个大懒觉,不过我们马上就在路上了。到了那里,山上全是成片成片的森林,除了游客就是树木、青草,还有野生的蘑菇。
我们坐上了低油耗的游览车,开始了旅行,在那里,顺时针是吉利的,所以我们的旅行路线也是顺时针的。车上的解说员很爱说夸张的比喻,所以车上的人总被逗得大笑不止。
我在车上不怎么活动,所以不怎么缺氧,但是一下车活动,就缺氧得头晕眼花,晕头转向,幸好旁边有一个商店,我到那里买了一瓶氧气,吸了几口,才好过来。
后来,要改变方案了,我们打算去坐船,在去坐船的地方的路上,我看见了一把把白色的“小伞”,我仔细一看,原来是蘑菇,我偷偷地采了几朵。在船上,我顺着梯子爬上了船顶,拍了许多漂亮的风景照。
这次旅行一共有三天时间,虽然十分疲倦,但是我们很高兴。
